Yup, I have a domain I purchased and on my lan I use PiHole and Caddy. All my apps and services use the format app.mydomain.com. PiHole forwards all requests for *.mydomain.com to Caddy, which handles the LE certificate (via DNS challenge) and forwards the requests to the proper IP:PORT. I started using this for everything, my Proxmox hosts, printer, my APs…

Same. Grew up watching Cartoon Network, HBO and the Discovery Channel with no subs (or dubs, they are not a thing in RO). Then there was music (lyrics) and later on video games and the Internet. It helped not having any OS or software available in my native language. Even to this day I use my phone and computer in English.

While I did have English classes at school (6th to 12th), the level was rather basic… I also took French for 10 years, and I can barely speak it. Otoh, I didn’t take one Italian class, but I can speak some, and understand almost everything. Again, this is because we had a bunch of Italian TV channels in the early 90s.

Kids are like sponges, especially when it comes to languages.

We lived in Romania until a few years ago, when we moved to Germany. We speak Romanian at home, and they have a decent grasp. The oldest is fluent, with no accent, the youngest lacks vocabulary, applies German grammar rules and has a bit of German accent. All of them speak German fluently, and they use it when they talk to each other, with friends and at school. They are also fluent in English, and that is because of the media. I only use English when it comes to devices OS/interface, streaming services etc, and they are used to it. They consume YouTube, Netflix etc in English only.

They sometimes mix the languages, especially when talking to us, since their exposure to Romanian is limited.

Will she get taxed for such a low income?

“Well, I guess you’re no longer invited to my birthday party.”

Said to a random person, it confuses the hell out of them.

Immich does have a pretty robust user management… https://immich.app/docs/administration/user-management/

Sorry, I thought platforms in general, not specifically in the Fediverse.

Slowly.app? It’s like having a snail mail pen-pal.

No, in Germany you pay taxes every month. At the end of the year you can do a text return where you ask for some of that back. Usually expenses that are work or kids related (traveling for work, job seeking, after school etc). Nothing to do with the US…

You never filed for tax return in 18 years - in Germany? Mate, I get back about 1500-2000€ every year, do it.

I don’t really look/care for German content :)

I’m in Germany and I barely see any German posts… Must be something from either your user or app settings.

Every two years. That’s how I get a new phone for free…

Depends on your needs. I have a couple LXDs that only need 512MB each… But I did upgrade mine to 16GB.

Yeah, one of the USFF or whatever they call them.

I got an HP ProDesk 400 G2 with an i5 6500T, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for 99€. Works beautifully, and while it’s not as efficient as a raspberry pi, it idles around 6-7w and can run a bunch of VMs with Proxmox.

Short answer: we don’t.

Long answer: clean up your shit, or your friend will not come over / your allowance this month will be going to my pocket. Do you want to eat? Help clean out the kitchen/dining table. I did place their plate of dinner food over the one from lunch that they didn’t put away. They didn’t like that.

It also varies a lot from kid to kid in my family. One of them is a crafter and a hoarder. Carton boxes, glue, scissors, pieces of paper, colored beads all over the room. Once in a while I tell her to clean up, and anything she doesn’t, I will scoop up and throw away. Her sister has a spotless room… nothing to complain about. Their brother, every couple of days he will have a new videogame ask, or a new Minecraft server I should set up for him and his friends… Again, I will do so, when I see all the cans, plates of food and clothes on the floor put away.

D&D for social anxiety… I mean, it didn’t “fix” mine, but it helped.

I got a few HP Elitedesk/Prodesk computers. One with an i5 9500T for ~200€, a couple with i5 6500t for about 100€ each (one small factor, the other a bit larger, with a PCI slot for a GPU). Not the most recent or powerful, but more than Enough for a homelab with a handful of VMs. Power consumption sits around 36-50w for the 3 machines, a small dlink switch and a Synology NAS with 4 drives.

Chili con carne.
